Cruise the Beagle Channel by catamaran for sea lions, cormorants, and Magellanic and Papuan penguins, plus lighthouse history and great views.
“Every stop had enough time for everyone to take pictures and admire them. Very comfortable catamaran.”
Sail the Beagle Channel from Ushuaia to Martillo Island for close-up penguins, sea lions, birds, and the Les Eclaireurs lighthouse.
“Good activity overall to see the sea lions and penguins. The boat gets really close to them so it’s perfect for pictures. The boat itself is clean, modern and spacious, with a café on board. There’s seating upstairs and downstairs which is comfortable, and outside space to view at the stops. Staff all super friendly. -Downside is the price was expensive for what it was. -There could have been another stop, maybe at a local fisherman’s village on the way back, as the way back was long. -Could not hear what the tour guide was saying over the microphone, sharing history etc with us. It seemed only one speaker out…”
Modern catamaran cruise from Ushuaia through Beagle Channel, Bird and Sea Lion Islands, and Les Eclaireurs Lighthouse, plus a Puerto Karelo hike.
“Very nice tour and everything was good organised ! The boat is comfortable, guides speaks spanish and english. We saw a lot of birds and sea lions !”
Catamaran through the Beagle Channel to Isla Martillo for close penguins, plus sea lions, a lighthouse photo stop, and big bird sightings.
“Nice experience, but bring some warm clothing. Staying outside on deck is half the fun, but it was COLD.”
Catamaran penguin watching from Ushuaia through the Beagle Channel, with sea lions, cormorants, and Martillo Island penguins.
“Catamarano stra colmo di gente . As ogni attrattiva da vedere ci si ammassava fuori e se eri dietro non vedevi assolutamente nulla e la gente non si spostava. Siamo arrivati dai pinguini prima di tutte le altre barche e nonostante questo la nostra si é fermata dove c’erano solo una decina di pinguini mentre il “gruppo super grande “ non siamo riusciti a vederlo nemmeno ha fatto un giro per poter mostrare anche a chi non ha visto nulla. In prezzo assurdo si quasi 169€ a persona ! I peggio spesi. Sxonsiglko !!!meglio barca piccola”
3-hour Beagle Channel cruise from Ushuaia with lighthouse of the End of the World views, wildlife spotting, and the 1930 Monte Cervantes story.
“Hermosa experiencia, la guía exelente, el catamarán muy cómodo y muy buen trato por parte de todo el personal.”
Private 4-hour wine-tasting sail on the Río de la Plata from Buenos Aires, with sommelier-led pours, tapas, and sunset views.
“Santiago was a wonderful and charming host! We had a lovely evening spent sailing and learning about local wines. The charcuterie board was much more than we expected, especially with the addition of freshly made empanadas. Would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to have a local adventure outside of the typical city sights. It was truly a prefect evening!”
